Early TV Drama.
Mozjoukine2 February 2012
This relic from the early days of US Television, an anthology episode apparently shot on film but with the meager production values of live TV, has some ambition in its blanded down "Turn of the Screw" concept and the performance from young Wood at her most vulnerable-appealing.

She is being home schooled in the isolated house by uncle Napier, when the visit of local vicar Welch reveals the house's sinister secrets - aha!

There is an attempts at style in the opening mobile camera, non verbal material - which misleadingly suggests that Natalie is mute.

Hard to imagine the later accomplished Fredricks contributing these drab images.
